More quotes by Winston Churchill
We shall defend every village, every town and every city. The vast mass of London itself, fought street by street, could easily devour an entire hostile army and we would rather see London laid in ruins and ashes than that it should be tamely and abjectly enslaved.
Winston Churchill
You know, in war, you don't have to be nice. You only have to be right.
Winston Churchill
Victory will never be found by taking the path of least resistance.

Winston Churchill
The day may dawn when fair play, love for one's fellow men, respect for justice and freedom, will enable tormented generations to march forth serene and triumphant from the hideous epoch in which we have to dwell. Meanwhile, never flinch, never weary, never despair.
Winston Churchill
Don't argue about the difficulties. The difficulties will argue for themselves.
Winston Churchill
Sir, we must beware of needless innovation, especially when guided by logic.
Winston Churchill
Decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.
Winston Churchill
Human beings are of two classes: those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure and those whose work and pleasure are one.
Winston Churchill
When great causes are on the move in the world, stirring all men's souls, drawing them from their firesides, casting aside comfort, wealth and the pursuit of happiness in response to impulses at once awe-striking and irresistible, we learn that we are spirits, not animals.
Winston Churchill
The Dark Ages may return-the Stone Age may return on the gleaming wings of Science and what might now shower immeasureable material blessings upon mankind may even bring about its total destruction. Beware! I say. Time may be short. Referring to the discovery of atomic energy.
Winston Churchill
Americans always do the right thing, once they have exhausted all other possibilities.
Winston Churchill
